Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 973, Leader of the Church

The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze.

The Empress's soul was shaking violently, staring at Xiao Xiao who was hesitating, "What's the problem?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Wu Heng for help, "Uncle, please tell me..."

"Don't you watch cartoons every day? You must be more familiar with it." Wu Heng scratched his head.

I always feel like I can't bring myself to say bad things about someone in front of them.

"But you are a college student!" Xiaoxiao retreated tactically and hid directly behind Granda.

The Empress's soul body swelled violently. In the soul state, one could even see the illusory fox tail, "Wu Heng! You say!"

Compared to the child with a wider range of thinking, he is more likely to believe the smooth-talking necromancer at this time.

Wu Heng organized his words and then said, "In some literary works, Daji is usually portrayed as a villain, such as bewitching the king and harming loyal ministers."

"What?" The queen's mood became even more unstable. "I'm going to rip their mouths off."

Wu Heng quickly comforted her, "These are all fabricated by later generations, but in all versions, they all emphasize your stunning beauty."

"Ahhh!" The Queen screamed, and her soul began to disintegrate irregularly, showing signs of collapse.

Then, he rushed towards the Magic Soul Pot beside him, but suddenly remembered that he had signed the contract, so he turned around and drilled into Wu Heng's body.

The room fell silent again.

The three souls of one person were also stunned where they were.

Glenda said, "Why are you always mad at her? You never said a word about the serious matter."

"This is not my fault. Who knew the topic would suddenly deviate here?" Wu Heng said innocently.

Xiao Xiao, who had been hiding far away, also flew over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Beni reminded, "Ancient skills, bronze keys, anyway, no one was mentioned."

"Oh! Uncle has forgotten all the important things."

"It seems too purposeful to bring up these things right after signing the contract." Wu Heng glanced at his phone. Li Yahong hadn't sent him her location yet. "Let's go back to Treasure Island first and wait until she calms down."

Glenda floated in front, "Don't be too angry with her in the future. After all, we are companions now."

"She is hostile to us, but it will get better over time." Wu Heng turned off the air conditioner and lights.

The three ghosts drilled back into the body.

Opened the boundary door and walked in directly.

……

Go downstairs.

Minnie and Catwoman Robey were sitting in the living room chatting. When they saw him coming down, they smiled and greeted him, "Master."

"Yeah!" Wu Heng nodded.

Robbe jumped up lightly, his cat tail wagging, "I'll go make you some tea."

Wu Heng sat down on the sofa and took the teacup handed to him by Robbe.

He looked at Minnie and said, "Nothing is happening on the island, right?"

Minnie gathered her hair around her ears and said, "Deacon Xilagui called and wanted to send more guards to the port. Miss Letili from the Snake Emblem Group came again and left a gift before leaving."

"Is there trouble at the port?"

"Not really." Minnie shook her head. "The deacon said that with the increase in passenger ships docking, most people are gathering in the central square. Annette has already dispatched personnel to worry about security problems at the port."

As he was speaking, there was a "dong dong dong" sound coming from the stairs.

The puppet controlled by Xiao Xiao rushed down with her skirt flying. She glanced over here and locked her eyes on the catwoman, Robbe, "Sister Robbe! Go play football!"

Catwoman's eyes lit up, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he ran out.

Benny's puppet came down from behind Xiaoxiao, sat down on the single sofa by the window, skillfully opened the tablet, and found a TV series to watch.

Wu Heng retracted his gaze, "Did Letili say anything?"

"Just tell her to let her know when you're free," said Minnie.

If I have time, I'd better meet Letili.

There is already an idea of ​​cooperating more with the consortium, so it is necessary to bring the relationship between us closer.

Besides, he was quite satisfied with Letili, who was a smart and capable woman.

Wu Heng nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Minnie finished talking about the two things and continued, "I had a video call with Sister Wen Mansha. Qinqin can walk now, but she becomes clingy after walking a few steps. She is very clingy, just like Sister Wen Mansha."

As Wu Heng listened, the image of his daughter taking her first steps appeared in his mind.

The last time I saw my daughter, she was chubby and very cute.

It seems that I should go over and take a look when I have time, otherwise it would be bad if I don’t recognize myself when I grow up.

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door again, and Shannella and Annette came back together.

"Master!" Annette saluted, and Shannella nodded and sat down naturally beside her.

Annette hung her coat aside and said, "Master, today three presidents of the Bard Exchange Society are visiting us. They want to collect the poems that the messengers recite and bring them back to their respective cities."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

The sudden increase in the number of people visiting the port must be due to the presence of many bards who came here to visit.

Looking at Shannella who was standing by, the latter said, "Annette and I have discussed this. The poems spread by the messenger are not easy to control. It is better to consolidate the image of the Spiritual Inspiration Church and increase the support for more bards to attract bards from the surrounding areas."

Wu Heng nodded, "We think the same thing. We can also invite them to set up a bard exchange meeting on the island."

"Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow." Annette nodded.

After they chatted for a while, the skeleton chef had already brought dinner to the table.

Wu Heng said: "Let's eat first."

Minnie went to the yard and called Robbe, and everyone sat down and started to enjoy dinner.

……

Had dinner.

Shannala, Minnie and others went to the training room to train. Xiaoxiao was playing shuttlecock in the yard, and Benny was watching TV series next to her.

Wu Heng sat on the sofa drinking tea, took out his cell phone and made a video call to Lilith.

After two rings, the other end picked up.

The picture was dark, with the outline of a scarlet wooden coffin and Lilith's profile vaguely visible.

"Are you going to bed so early?" Wu Heng smiled.

With a click, the lampshade opened and the soft light of the illumination stone shone out.

Lilith sat in front of the antique desk, wearing a dark red dress, her slender fingers folded, "Not asleep!"

Wu Heng asked, "Has the support from the association arrived?"

"We arrived yesterday. Bruno was the leader." Lilith replied in a flat tone.

"Xiaoxiao misses you every day." Wu Heng asked, "When will you come back?"

Lilith gave him a displeased look and said, "Using the child as an excuse, there's nothing else to do here, so I'll just stay over there for a few days."

"Then hurry up." Wu Heng said.

"I know~!" Lilith responded in a low voice, and then turned the topic to the Holy See, "The new pope has ascended the throne."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Can anyone in the Holy See become the Pope?"

"It should also be a hero level."

Wu Heng was even more confused. "Didn't they say that the Holy See only had two heroes? This time, the fourth one has appeared."

Lilith was silent for a moment, then continued, "I also talked to 'Claudio' about this matter. He checked the earlier records of the elves and found a record that might be related to the model of the Church."

"What records?" Wu Heng asked.

I was also curious about the Vatican.

Heroes collapse one after another, which feels very different from normal career advancement.

Lilith tapped her fingers on the table and recounted what she knew. "According to the history of the elves, there is a supreme leader and four holy thrones in the Church. The supreme leader is a god, and the four holy thrones represent heroes with four different functions in the Church."

"The first one is the Pope, who manages the internal affairs of the Church and presides over ceremonies. The second one is the Envoy of Radiance, who is responsible for purification and judgment. The ones behind him are the Envoy of Watching and the Envoy of Defending, who represent spiritual insight and the protection of the Church respectively."

Wu Heng said: "In other words, the four holy seats of the Holy See still exist, but they have changed their names."

"This is just speculation." Lilith sighed softly and continued, "Claudio also mentioned the leader. According to what he said, when the four holy seats are unable to deal with danger, the leader may directly take over."

When it comes to the possibility of 'leader' intervening, both videos fall silent.

Leader is just a metaphor, in order to avoid the word God. But it still refers to the God of the Church.

Lilith added, "In the past thousand years, you are the first person to force the Church into such an embarrassing situation."

Wu Heng said: "Well...if he can do whatever he wants, the association won't be able to suppress the Church."

"No one can say for sure about this matter, and the records are very secretive. During that period, the Church held the highest status." Lilith leaned forward and said, "It is better to be careful. If you are not sure, it is best to go through the association and try to ease the relationship."

"I will. Do you have any other information?" Wu Heng continued to ask.

His relationship with Lilith became closer, and various information was revealed to him.

In the past, if you wanted to find out anything, you had to exchange something for it.

"Nothing else. I'll let you know when there's news." Lilith pondered for a moment, then continued, "If you don't want to give your cell phone to the headquarters, you can leave a radio station with the headquarters to avoid difficulties in delivering the message."

This time, Wu Heng did not refuse.

"Okay, when you come, I will arrange a radio station for our headquarters." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"It's as if I'm a hostage."

Later, the two of them talked in private.

As it was getting dark, they hung up the phone and went to rest.

……

After washing.

Wu Heng returned to the room.

Lying on the bed, he began to think about the information provided by Lilith.

Leaders and the Four Holy Sees.

According to Lilith, the Holy See has always maintained a configuration of four heroes.

It’s just that he was previously called the Glorious God’s Messenger, or some God’s Messenger, but now he is called the Chief!

Including the religious leaders whose physical bodies he had destroyed, he had killed three, with only one left, and he succeeded to the position of Pope this time.

If I throw a missile at the cathedral now and then approach it as quickly as possible, it should not be a problem to kill the new Pope.

But the threat now is the 'leader' that Lilith mentioned, that is, the god of the Church.

"If the four holy seats are unable to resolve a danger, the leader will intervene directly." Wu Heng repeated Lilith's words.

Killing three of them isn't that difficult to solve?
Or, just like playing a game, the BOSS will appear only after all four prerequisite monsters are killed.

Or maybe the other party has already started paying attention to him, but the way the god is doing it is different.

"No!" Wu Heng reorganized his thoughts. "First of all, it is certain that no matter how powerful the gods are, they cannot kill people directly. Otherwise, the association will not be able to suppress the Church and may use other methods to deal with us."

It’s just not clear what way.

"It seems that I need to speed up my faith." Wu Heng turned over and sat up, opened the faith and took a look.

【Faith: 372/50000.】

The number of faiths has increased by more than one hundred, and the effect of the smart speaker is still significant.

The next step is to speed up the establishment of the church, and then use audio to collect more faiths.

I will go to the Wood Elves and Lentam City in person in the next few days.

Gather faith quickly.

It is still unknown what changes will occur when the faith reaches a certain value, but according to the characteristics of the panel, it must be stronger than the hero.

Can also resist greater dangers.

He took a deep breath and muttered, "What's missing now is time."

After thinking everything over, I lay back down on the bed.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the door, followed by Annette's gentle inquiry, "Master, are you asleep?"

"Come in!" Wu Heng said.

The door opened, and a plump lop-eared rabbit wearing a lace dress walked in. She stood at the door and said, "Master, Sister Shannella is tired today, so she went back to her room to rest."

Wu Heng smiled and opened his arms, "Come on, it's cold outside!"

Annette also smiled and crawled into the quilt from one side.

……

The next day, in the morning.

The morning light poured into the conference room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Wu Heng sat in the room and waited for a while.

There was a knock on the door, and a bright red figure walked in.

Letili was wearing a scarlet silk dress, a ruby ​​necklace hung around her slender neck, and thin silver chains adorned her pointed ears, reflecting sparks of light like diamonds as she walked.

“Master Chief.” Letilly knelt and saluted, her skirt blooming like a rose.

"Sit down!" Wu Heng raised his hand to signal, and his eyes swept across her delicate face, revealing that she had dressed up specially. "I heard from Minnie that you have been to the Island Master's Mansion twice. You were busy these days, so we didn't meet."

"I came here mainly to see you. Your business is more important." Letili sat down with her back straight.

Wu Heng asked: "Besides visiting, is there anything else?"

"Yes." Letili said directly: "The first is to provide electricity to the consortium's buildings and purchase the lighting and cooling props from the association. The second point is about the follow-up cooperation."

He whispered, "Sir, I have officially taken over the Treasure Island Consortium. I will need your care in the future."

Before, Wu Heng didn’t like the local consortium very much, so there was no electricity and no electrical appliances.

Now Letili has taken over, and she has promised that she will take care of her.

There is no problem in providing electricity and selling electrical appliances.

"I will arrange for someone to connect electricity to you tomorrow. You can purchase these props directly at the City Hall." Wu Heng agreed immediately.

Letili smiled, "Thank you, sir."

"But..." Wu Heng paused, then continued, "The consortium's business should not endanger the safety of the island. You should understand what I mean."

"Please rest assured!" Letili leaned forward, and a scent of flowers drifted closer. "The consortium has its own rules. We will never do anything that harms the local area. I can guarantee it with my life."

"Okay!" Wu Heng continued, "Fill out the commission."

Lei Dili was delighted and took out the letter of authorization from her space ring. "You say."

"I want a life profession above level ten, array master, alchemist, and gadget master are preferred." Wu Heng said.

"No need for a combat profession anymore?" asked Letili.

"no need."

"Okay." Letili quickly filled out one form and then asked, "What about the second commission?"

"I need a container that can hold a large number of ghosts." Wu Heng added: "Not the kind of magic soul pot, but see if there is one that can store a large number of ghosts together."

Letili continued writing, filling it out in detail, "I've written it down. According to the procedure, you need a down payment of 200 gold coins."

Wu Heng took out the gold coin and pushed it to the other party, "If you have any news, just notify me directly."

"Understood, my lord."

The two continued chatting for a while, and then Letili bowed and left.

In the corridor, he walked out with big strides with a smile on his face.

Judging from the attitude of the young leader, he is willing to take care of herself, at least staying on Treasure Island allows her to be closer to the hero.

It would not be difficult to earn back the one thousand gold coins that he had given to the previous person in charge.

After leaving the town hall, Letili got on the carriage and left.

……

Return to the Island Owner's Mansion.

Wu Heng went upstairs and just as he put his hand on the door handle, he heard an angry shout from inside.

Open the door and walk in.

The Empress's soul was floating in the air and shaking violently. Xiaoxiao was hiding in the distance on the tablet in front of her.

"What is this!" the queen asked angrily.

Wu Heng looked at Glenda who was reading a book leisurely beside him, "What happened?"

The latter glanced at the opposite side and said, "Xiaoxiao found a cartoon for her and said her story is in it."

As he was speaking, a delicate voice came from the tablet opposite, "My King~!"
